I'm almost positive that there is a slight bow in the rocker panels of C/K bodies. This GT Hawk has a bow that is a little excessive. Any suggestions? Sorry about the poor pic quality.

When I replaced the rocker panels on our GT I had to deal with a similar bow. I just forced it so I could use the same holes in the car. It took quite a bit of pressure to accomplish this.Perry

I finally got a chance to look undr this car. It's a mess, with inner rockers or hog troughs riveted and patched in places and the outer rockers and rear fenders all bondo with no seam separating them. Gonna be a body man's nightmare!!!Jamie McLeod
